Abstract

Let N1N\geq 1, s,k(0,1)s,k\in(0,1), p(1,)p\in(1,\infty). Let t>1t>1, open bounded set ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N, RR be the radius of Ω\Omega. Let BtR(Ω)B_{tR}(\Omega) be the ball containing Ω\Omega with radius tRtR and with the same center as Ω\Omega. In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of the first (s,p)(s,p)-eigenvalue and corresponding first (s,p)(s,p)-eigenfunctions during the approximation ksk\rightarrow s. We show that there exhibits a different phenomenon between the two directions of discontinuity of ksk\rightarrow s^- and continuity of ks+k\rightarrow s^+, which can be triggered by behaviors of eigenfunctions on the boundary points bearing the positive Besov Capacity. And this difference prompts us to study the boundary behavior of operators (Δp)s(-\Delta_p)^s on the irregular boundary points. We also characterize some equivalent forms of the continuity case when ksk\rightarrow s^-. In the end, we construct a counterexample for the discontinuity case during ksk\rightarrow s^- based on the positivity of Besov capacity of Cantor set and the fine decay estimates up to the regular boundary points, used by P. Lindqvist and O. Martio. The proof works by reducing W~0s,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{s,p}_0(\Omega) to the so-called Relative-nonlocal spaces W~0,tRs,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{s,p}_{0,tR}(\Omega) introduced here, which is equivalent to W~0s,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{s,p}_0(\Omega), where W~0s,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{s,p}_0(\Omega) is defined as the completion of C0(Ω)C^\infty_0(\Omega) under the Gagliardo semi-norm Ws,p(RN)W^{s,p}(\mathbb R^N), and W~0,tRs,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{s,p}_{0,tR}(\Omega) defined as the completion of C0(Ω)C^\infty_0(\Omega) under the Gagliardo semi-norm Ws,p(BtR(Ω))W^{s,p}(B_{tR}(\Omega)). As a partial result, we established the Homemorphism of the operator (Δp)s(-\Delta_p)^s between W~0s,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{s,p}_0(\Omega) and its dual space W~s,p(Ω)\widetilde W^{-s,p^\prime}(\Omega), where 1/p+1/p=11/p+1/p^\prime=1.
